It's not a DOS program.
The problem is that the name SVCHOST.EXE is used by *many* forms of malware.
Malware files that use that name will NOT be in %windir%\system32
So if the file is located in %windir% or %windir%\sytem then it it has a very high
probability of being malware.
The best way to check is to scan the system using anti virus/anti malware software.
